GAME OVER!? - A.I. Designs New ELECTRIC Motor

PicoGK forms the basis for all of the company’s computational engineering models. It has lead to the development of a completely new electric motor that is entirely 3D printed through AM. But is this the future of motor design?

Title "Game over" then 10 seconds in "But will this truly be the motor of the future." Suffering from a bit of premature e-declaration.

So what you're saying is I just wasted 6 minutes of my life for nothing thanks.

Was kinda hoping to see more performance specs for the motor, as well as what exactly the AI was optimizing. The high surface area appears to optimize heat dissipation

For those commenting, generative design isn’t a new concept in engineering. It’s cool that it’s being applied to more complex problems!

[tuseroni]

there isn't a working benchmark, nor a breakdown of parts...this is just a model it created we don't even know it works.

i acttualy liked the video, but the "game over" clickbait is 99% an autoskip for me. I'm kinda glad i countered the eyeroll

I think there should be a question mark after "GAME OVER" until a motor is actually produced and evaluated.

For future viewers, I used AI to summarize the script and answer the question your video title poses: "Conclusion; While computational engineering and 3D printing offer limitless possibilities, the new motor designs remain prototypes with many unanswered questions. The viability of AI-designed motors for future production depends on further testing and overcoming current challenges."

WHAT DEVELOPMENTS???? it hasn't even been fucking TESTED¿¡¿

[anielyantra]

I want to see a performance test of this so called AI motor design.

It's not that superconductors can withstand higher temperatures. It's that they have less resistance which means less heat would be generated.

I believe the copper windings will not work very well if 3D printed. Any microscopic "hole" will lessen the magnetic field or cause stray eddy current causing problems with power. A regular copper wire is going to be hard to beat.

[Pferdesalami]

it is more about 3D printing than a.i.

[SFCFilms]

What do you mean by game over? What game? What does that have to do with the motor?

Amazingly I was only thinking about 3d printed copper coils for motors just last night. However the big problem was how to insulate it. the insulation must be super thin and withstand high temperatures with minimal plasticity (flowing under heat and or pressure). Enamel is the coating of choice but I can see that mixing copper powders and enamel powders would not work as the same layer of a print must contain both and the enamel must be very thin.

future machine parts are gonna look like video game artifacts, which is really cool

Awesome. We no longer need engineers. We no longer need artist. We no longer need musicians. We no longer need actors.

3d printing is approaching the price of machining with way more to go.

Permanent rare earth magnets are a high cost but Niron (Nitrogen-Iron) permanent magnets could reduce the cost below that of induction motors. These new magnets are stronger, cheaper, and have a higher heat tolerance than Neodymium rare earth magnets while also being environmentally friendly.
